MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049159 A) filed by Sona College Of Technology, Salem, Tamil Nadu, on April 17, for 'an iot-enabled system and method for real-time microbial quality assessment of milk.'
Inventor(s) include Hema Kumar M; Thiyaneswaran B; Anguraj K; Srinivasan P; Sowmiya D; and Kaviya M.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a system and method for real-time assessment of microbial quality of raw milk. The system comprises a sample holding unit configured to contain a raw milk sample admixed with a colorimetric reagent, a light emitting unit for illuminating the sample, an optical sensing unit for detecting colour changes induced by microbial metabolic activity, and a temperature sensing unit for monitoring reaction conditions. Electrical signals generated by the optical sensing unit are temperature-compensated and processed by a signal conditioning and processing unit to produce a microbial quality indication. The resulting quality indication is displayed through a local display interface. The invention enables rapid, objective, and portable microbial quality evaluation without laboratory dependency and is suitable for use at dairy farms and milk collection centres."
